Please be honest about accessibility. We are in our mid 70s and very fit but it could have been a disaster. Fairy lights in the front garden on all night and the curtains let in the light.

Lovely house to stay in, really enjoyed the space and the location, and was spotlessly cleaned prior to our arrival. Two minute walk into the village, same for the beach, which is immaculately clean. Locals are very friendly and helpful, and most of the enjoy a bit of a chit chat. Good weather was a bonus too. Hike over to Branscombe on the SW CoasRead moret path, a nice climb and stunning views - about two miles each way. Plenty of trips relatively locally too, try Burrow Farm gardens, if you are into flora and fauna along with stunning Devon views, spend a few hours here. It is 13 each to get in but worth it. Lyme Regis not a bad place for a day out and you can stretch your legs along the Prom for a mile or so. Make sure you have a meal at Gina's restaurant in Beer village, if you can get a booking, great place to eat! Fresh fish and lobster etc available every morning at the village harbour on the slope to the beach - so fresh and high quality too. Hide

The cottage was light and airy . The sun came in all day. The views were lovely. The location very good with no passing traffic and walking distance to the beach.
